Should I Buy New Construction or Resale?

Both new construction and resale homes offer value — but the right choice depends on your goals, timeline, and lifestyle.

New Construction Benefits:

• Modern floorplans and energy efficiency

• Builder warranties

• Customization options

• Fewer repair surprises

• Incentives or rate buydowns

Builders often offer credits toward closing costs or upgrades — and I negotiate even more on your behalf.

Resale Benefits:

• Established neighborhoods

• Mature landscaping

• Larger lots (especially in Apple Valley, Hesperia, Victorville)

• Lower tax rates than some newer communities

• No wait times for construction

Resale homes often offer more character, variety, and negotiation flexibility.

The key is understanding your priorities. I help you compare neighborhood data, total cost of ownership, builder incentives, and long-term resale potential. Whether you’re eyeing a new build or a beautifully cared-for existing home, I’ll make sure you choose wisely.
